I had the pleasure of speaking with attorney Sharon Phillips, with Friedman, Framme, & Thrush, P. A.
with Legal Shield. Attorney Phillips was very knowledgeable, professional, and very much concerned about my situation. She gave me great advice and different options as to how I could handle my situation. I truly appreciate her and highly recommend Attorney Phillips to anyone who needs a great lawyer.

An ambulance company wanted to charge me (and my wife) a medical fee in excess of that allowed by New Jersey car insurance laws and threatened to notify collections agencies. Legal Shield sent a letter to the ambulance company on my behalf notifying them to obey NJ car insurance laws and not to submit any false claims to collection agencies. If they did not comply, Legal Shield would represent me in legal proceedings if I requested. Legal Shield said in the cover letter to me that they would charge me a discounted rate.

It's a good service
February 26, 2026

It's a nice service. It's convenient. Price is pretty good as well. I just wish I could stick with one or maybe two lawyers at a time about my case. Every time I needed to talk to my lawyer I had to get with a different person and wait for them to catch up on my case by looking at notes from the previous person. That got old fast! Just let me stick to one person. If I have to have another one then fine. Other than that it's a good service to have.

My experience with Legal Shield has been really good. Always there to help and when I call they answer the phone, which is one thing I like about this business. Most businesses don't answer their phones or call you back.

The attorney responded quickly and I felt was extremely knowledgeable about the subject for which we contacted legal shield. He took time to explain and re-explain if we needed it. We felt comfortable with his advise and will not hesitate to reach out again. These services that legal shield provide us are truly the best investment we have ever made. Thank you all.

When you have questions in the need of guidance, Legal shield, is the first place to start. All of the gears behind shield move towards either corrections and or solutions. They are patient and kind. Knowing that you may not have had any experience on how to proceed during unexpected times.

Disappointed with this service
February 13, 2026

Brian stated that my family wasn't ready to hire him when we last talked. He didn't seem to remember our conversation or my case and he accused me of getting the details wrong. Overall, he told me that he was going to be out of the office the next day and he would be gone for a week, so this was the why he didn't want to start on my case. I was very disappointed with this conversation with Brian.
